Absolutely agree. If we cant be grateful for daily blessings so easily taken for granted; how can we grow and appreciate the bigger opportunities, blessings, gifts that we are bestowed. Gratefulness is having the power of positivity. Positivity begets hope. With hope, there are no limits :) Blessings in the New Year NP:)
All we truly have is the present - and as it is a gift of profound proportions, gratitude for every speck of the sand allotted is the only fitting response. Nice.

After which, we wont' be anything. For now, I'm very grateful.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year NP :)
AND I am grateful for all of you!

ReplyDeleteyou are my sort of person..love this aphorism
ReplyDeleteI believe this.
DeleteHave a great year NP
Attitude is everything. It's one of few things that's completely under one's control.
ReplyDeleteSince everyone runs out of sand eventually, I'd rather spend it peacefully and be remembered fondly. That's a sweet one, Marty!
ReplyDelete....and when it is empty we shall return as dust to this Earth.
ReplyDeleteLiked it ....Happy New year to you and your family :)

ReplyDeleteAs will I. Great one, Marty.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping your new year finds wonder in every grain of sand.
ReplyDeleteI believe in being grateful for every speck of sand in the hourglass of our lives. Good aphorism, Marty!
ReplyDeleteYes Marty, the "glass is never half-empty". Life is a marathon, not the 100 meters dash, and it ain't over till it's over!
ReplyDelete''Until my hourglass is empty, I will be grateful''.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right, then we can finally stop reading these boring ass aphorisms.
